| Statement |
|---|
| During periods of market volatility, we believe that our business model will continue to deliver above market returns and consistent cash flow generation |
| On the plus side, the markets in which we directly participate, including construction aggregates and cementations materials were strong across major customers and regions we served in the period |
| A testament to the value and durability of our cargo focused business model |
| So we think we're pretty well positioned for the fourth quarter |
| We see upside in the long term for us |
| The business is performing well, and we continue to work diligently on expanding that business with our current customer base while seeking out opportunities to leverage the growing economies of scale between our onshore and offshore assets |
| In conclusion, our vertically integrated shipping and logistics model continue to deliver above-market performance, supported by strong execution of our specialized ice-class fleet, our chartering strategy, continued fleet expansion and a disciplined capital allocation |
| And certainly, it's a positive |
| Our third quarter financial results continue to emphasize the flexibility of our business model as we were able to maximize returns through the utilization of our specialized fleet of ice-class vessels, which were employed a long-term contract business during the summer ice season |
| We've got a pretty strong business here |
| For our part, we believe our premium rate model and long-term COAs position us to execute on our strategy |
| We still see best value in the shorter executions on any time challenge business we do |
| We had a great start going into the fourth quarter |
| It can be a positive and sometimes it's certainly in rising markets we're able to charter in at lower rates and then utilize those ships in those higher markets, and it has that sort of inverse effect |
| I think Poe, it's driven primarily by our active business, which sort of extends from the third quarter into the fourth that for sure is a positive contributor to that |
| Fleet utilization and our deep portfolio of COAs contributed to an earned TCE rate that exceeded the broader market index by nearly 50% |
| As far as rates, we're happy to see it |
| Liam Burke And on the ports operations, it seems to be contributing nice stable EBITDA |
| Have a great day and a happy holiday at -- for Thanksgiving |
| During this period of softer market rates, our ability to opportunistically adjust our chartered-in fleet coupled with lower market rates, served to reduce our charter hire expense by nearly 50% year-over-year, from an average of $21,226 per day in the third quarter of last year, to $10,800 per day in the third quarter of 2023 |
| We remain committed to a consistent return of capital program and continue to view our quarterly cash dividend as an integral part of our investment thesis, one that emphasizes total shareholder returns |
| So in terms of steady, it's steady over time |
| Given our continued confidence in the performance outlook for our business, our capital allocation priorities remain unchanged |
| Over the last year, our operating cash flow conversion has been in excess of 70% of adjusted EBITDA, and we've utilized this cash generation to pay down more than $20 million in debt |
| We've also reinvested approximately $50 million in our business through acquisition and fleet renewals while returning more than $18 million to shareholders through our quarterly cash dividend |
| Statement |

| Our adjusted EBITDA declined year-over-year to $27.9 million |
| However, growth in the global dry bulk fleet remains low as new build activity is limited |
| But yes, the market is obviously softer in those numbers |
| Excluding the impact of derivative instruments as well as other non-GAAP adjustments, our reported adjusted net income attributable to Pangaea during the quarter was $14.4 million or $0.32 per diluted share, a decrease of $8.9 million or $0.20 a per diluted share versus the third quarter of last year |
| Volatility continues in the markets as market index fluctuations are being caused by ongoing geopolitical uncertainty |
| Total cash from operations decreased by $16 million year-over-year to $16.3 million, due to the decrease in TCE rates |
| Entering 2024, the bulk shipping market continues its volatile path |
| It's probably coming down from a high 51 ships down to about 45 to 48 |
| I know this is sort of the lagging effect that impacts us |
| Actual results may differ significantly from those projected in today's forward-looking statements due to various risks and uncertainties, including the risks described in our periodic reports filed with the SEC |
| Poe Fratt And then, Gianni, you highlighted charter hire expenses were lower year-over-year, a lot lower than what I expected |
| We're going to try to grow it a little bit |
| Furthermore, vessel operating expenses net of technical management fee decreased by 12% year-over-year, from an average of $6,471 per day last year to $5,706 per day in the third quarter of 2023 |
| So that won't potentially impacted us well |
| However, we held our adjusted EBITDA margin approximately flat year-over-year due to our flexible chartered-n strategy and active cost management efforts amid inflationary pressures |
| Relative to the second -- or at the time of the second quarter call, the days that you flip for the fourth quarter are down a little bit modestly like 20%, but the rate is a lot higher |
